Poquoson High School - Islander / York Chronicle Yearbook (Poquoson, VA)

Text from Pages 1 - 104 of the 1955 volume:

miGOUTTHEOLD Published by Poquoson High School Our school was divided at the beginning of the school year, and the present school body is made up of students from the Town of Poquoson. The students of Poquoson High School feel that the old name “The York Chronicle” is no longer appropriate. By a popular vote it was decided that the name should be changed. We, the staff .proudly present the first volume of The Islander. Poquoson Public Library 500 City Hall Avenue Poquoson, VA 23662 I It is the hope of the staff that this picture shall bring happy mem- ories of our school days at P.H.S. h 1 DEDICITIOII MRS CARRIE WHITE MOORE It was in 1913 that Mrs. Moore first began to teach and since that date she has taught a total of 18 years at Poquoson High School. The parents of many of the present student body were her pupils as were almost all of the members of the present senior c lass . This is her last year with us, and it is with sadness that we see her go. In appreciation for her long years of faithful service, her continued interest in Poquoson’s young people, and her influence for good in all our lives, we affectionately dedicate this the first volume of “The Islander”, to Mrs. Carrie White Moore.

Slowly I got up and received my diploma and his congratulations. I could feel tears trickling down my cheeks as I sat down in my chair. This was what I had worked for five long years. Yet now, they seemed only as minutes flying through the space of time. We, the Senior Class of 1955 after five years of toil have at last achieved our victory. We were so happy and so full of mischief that warm September, 1950, as we entered the eighth grade Unaware were we of the steep ladder we had to climb to reach the top. We were not a very distinguished group of one hundred and fourteen rats hurrying and scurrying to beat the late bell. Alex Gili- kin was elected leader for that year. Zoan Firth was chosen as representative in the May Court. At the end of the year we were preparing our schedules and meditating upon our vocations. September, 1951 met us on our way to Poquoson as freshmen. We elected Ashley Page as our leader for the year. We were just getting used to the basic fundamentals of Algebra, Sci- ence, and Language. Barbara Menetch and Sylvia Ward represented our class in the May Court. We entered in September, 1952 with a brighter outlook than ever before. Francis Evans was chosen leader for this year. Beverly Watkins and Doris Taylor represented our class in the May Court. We gave our first big dance since entering high school, Valentine Dance. September, 1953 came, and we entered as Juniors. We received our Senior rings and we walked around with our hands high in the air for inspection. The Junior Play Winning Schemers was a success. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed Alex Gilikin dressing like a girl. Alex Gilikin was again elected our leader for that year. Patricia Butcher and Barbara Gilruth represented our class in the May Court. Then May rolled around and our big dance came, Junior-Senior Prom. The Scenery was very original. Under the supervision of Mr. Mrs. Collins the class created a patio with stars, shrubs and garden in the gym. Our theme was Stairway to the Stars . On September 9, 1954, we entered the last step of our career as students at Poquoson. We were Seniors, the highest class in school. June Wallace was elected as our class leader. We had lost thirty- one members of our class as Poquoson became incorporated. It was a sad occasion to see our classmates leave the last year. Howard Wainwright was elected editor-in-chief of the annual under the sponsorship of Mrs. Lewis. He was also elected president of the S. C. A. Our Safety Patrol consisted of twenty-six members, with Judy Bunting and Beverly Watkins serving as captains. The Juniors gave us the Prom this year. Grandpa ' s Christmas Spree” under the direction of Mrs. Freeman and Mrs. Collins was a success. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the stuffed Santa especially when he came alive. Out invitations and pins were received. Then the days of practice for graduation arrived. Caps and gowns were handed out by Mrs. Freeman and Mrs. Collins our class sponsors. Out Senior Play proved to be one of the best ever given. Slowly I opened my eyes. My classmates were rising. I got to my feet and to the strains of music walked off the stage and out of the doors of my Alma Mater, Poquoson High School. Reading, writing, and arithmetic sessions ate over, but beyond the horizon lies an even greater work, that of life. Although we are glad to receive our diplomas and take our part in the game of life, we feel a deep regret in leaving old Poquoson High School; but we will always remember that our happiest days were spent here. LAST WILL MDTESTAMEST Upon our departure from P.H.S. we the Senior Class of 1955 grant Mr. Thomas, our Principal, the faculty, and future Seniors of 1956 the following bequests: To Mr. Thomas our loyal and understanding leader, we each leave love and sympathy for the guidance he has given us in the most important years of our lives. We also bequeath to our homeroom teachers, Mrs. Nannie Freeman and Mrs. Bernice Collins, love for their grateful and understanding guidance they have given us in the past years. The memory of the constant keep they have given us in our year of decision will remain in our hearts forever. And to the Junior Class we not only leave as much happiness as we have had in our Senior Year but the following bequests as well: IKE MARTIN leaves a Keep Away sign on Edna Powell in case any boy other than he be interested. A top giggler, JUNE WALLACE, leaves her wonderful laughs to Margaret Graham in hopes she will have as much fun as she did. HOWARD WAINWRIGHT leaves his good grades to Edward Wil- son. BARBARA MENETCH and JUDY BUNTING leave their typing ability to Loretta Townsend. BEVERLY WATKINS leaves her ability to make straight E ' s to Jeanette Lee. THOMAS GRAHAM leaves his love for English to anyone who likes it as much as he does. AUSTIN FREEMAN leaves his seat in Study Hall to Ben Law- son. One of our top basketball players, FRANCES EVANS, leaves her skills to Sylvia Holloway. GLORIA DIGGS leaves her swing and sway walk to Joyce Smith. ROSE HOLLOWAY leaves her commercial ability to Myra and Joan Firth. BETTY HOLLOWAY will gladly give any Junior girl a little advice on how to catch a man. LOIS DRYDEN bequeaths her ability to understand Mrs. Free- man ' s shorthand questions to Tewatha Moore and Billie Alexander. NORMA ROLLINS leaves her ability to sing hymns to Ethel Watkins and Lois Forrest. ASHLEY PAGE bequeaths all the slightly used gum under seat five in the first tow of room 2 08 to Julius Harris and Eddie Wade. BETTY LITTLE wills her excuse blanks to Serena Ferguson. JANICE JOYNER and BILLY HOPKINS leave their loving ways to any couple who know the secret. MAE WARD leaves her pleasing personality to Jean Thomas. TERRY FERGUSON leaves his secret on how to dress to Bill Anderson. LOTTIE HOLLOWAY leaves her eating ability to Sara Insley. WARREN FORREST leaves his happy-go-lucky ways to Tommy Hudgins. CHARLES WATKINS leaves his cuteness to none other than Don Ward. SYDNEY HOLLOWAY will gladly give any Junior girl a little advice on how it feels to have pierced ears, MARY WINNER, who takes a delight in cutting her own hair, leaves her secret to Patricia Smith. PEGGY CRAWFORD leaves her dignity to Lucendia Topping, Nelson Watkins, and William Martin. ALTON MOORE and BILLY NETTLES are selling their secret on how to stay out of the office to Wesley Freeman. DOUGLAS MOORE leaves his love for television to anyone who likes it as much as he does, HENRY HUBBARD, after a great deal of consideration, wills his fast moving energy to Edna Edwards, Edwin Wainwright, David Dryden, and Willard Rollins ELIZABETH FIRMAN leaves her ability to speak her piece to Mary Milton and Maxine Cockran. NANCY FORREST and EDDIE SINGLETON leave their quietness to Indiana Messick, Edna Insley, and Jean Berry. BETTY QUINN leaves her winning ways to Jimmy Pickens, Joyce Rollins and Charles Lester. JOHN WESLEY BUNTING leaves his shortness to Cerald Wornom, Jack Ferguson, David Messick, and Daniel Inge. LEROY SHORES leaves his secret on how to catch your woman to John Mahlon. ROBERT FORESRT leaves his appetite to all those who rob the cafeteria at quartet of one., HORACE MOORE leaves his method of how to get out of class to anyone who knows how it works. DELORIS FOSTER who seems to be able to do a little of every- thing, leaves her skills to Deanna Williams and Muriel Forrest. GERALDINE INSLEY leaves her ability to get up at 8:o6 and get to school at 8:07 to Jackie Bunting and Terry Parker. We hereby declare all previous promises to pay, wills, testaments, or anything else by this class as null and void, and we the Senior Class of 1955 leave the entire Junior Class as much happiness as we have had.

On October 12th, we went to Gloucester for the annual meeting of the Chesapeake District of S. C. A. The theme for the year was Let’s do something about it . We had a very interesting meeting, and came back with many new ideas. Poquoson had charge of the response at the meeting. For our money-raising project, we sponsored the magazine sales campaign. The campaign went well over its goal. Our share of the profits was divided into two parts--one part was set aside for use on some project to be decided on later, the other half is being used to repair some of the damage to our campus by Hazel’’, and to beautify the campus. 40 ANNUAL STAFF Bill Anderson Judy Bunting . . .

With the aid of nine fumbles, they tasted the first of their six straight defeats. Most of the boys were inexperienced and played their first game under Split-T-formation, introduced to them by their new Coach, Jim Snow. As the season progressed the team showed great improvement, but was unable to hit a winning streak. Late in the season, still fighting hard to prove they had a winning team, the “Islanders” were victorious in their final game by defeating Mathews 13-0. Although the “Islanders” didn’t build up such an impressive record, they showed they still maintained good sportsmanship, spirit, and enthusiasm. ] 954 SCHEDULE Sept. 1 7 V ar ina (there) Sept. 24 Virginia Beach (her e ) Oct. ] Matthew Whaley (there ) Oct. 8 Glouc ester (there ) Oct. 1 5 Deep Creek (there ) Oct. 22 F ranklin (her e ) Nov. ] 2 Great Bridge (her e ) N ov. 19 Mathews (her e ) W e They 0 ] 8 0 24 0 26 0 14 6 1 9 6 20 6 6 1 3 0 Don Ward Right Halfback Beverly Barnes Fullback Nelson Watkins Right End Tetry Ferguson Quarterback-Co -Captain George Carmines Left End Jackie Bunting Right Guard Ashley Page Center 60 Billy Anderson Left Guard Jimmy Pickins End David Messick Left Halfback Billy Nettles Right Tackle Howard Wainwright Left Tackle-Co-Captain Mrs. Hastings, Coach FIRST STRING TEAM Frances Evans; Patricia Smith, Co-Captain; Margaret Graham; Indiana Messick; Sylvia Holloway; Mary Hoffman; Manager, Jean Thomas; Jane Freeman.
